Long-term goals 2010

Heya, 2010 is about one third done now and I am wondering what your goals for this year are when it comes to running - if you have any. Any particular distance or a race you want to be able to do? Maybe a half or full marathon? The first 5K? Running in some country you are traveling to?

Main goal for the year - go under 2 hrs for the half-marathon. I've done two so far, one in 2.04 and one in 2.03, but I'd like to not spend the next four years getting those last few minutes done! I have a half-marathon coming up at the beginning of June, but due to my hip injury probably won't have the training base to do that sort of time, so am focussed on the October half (which is the one I've done twice before) instead). I may try for one in between the two times if training goes well.

Less major goal - push up my distance, so that 12-15k runs become my mental "standard run", rather than 8-10k (it used to be 4-6k, so I know I can increase it!).
